Central Committee of National Jihad in Palestine

The Central Committee of National Jihad in Palestine was the political and organizational body of the Arab revolt in Mandatory Palestine from 1936 to 1939, based in Damascus, Syria. The Central Committee of Jihad was founded in November 1937 to replace the Arab Higher Committee after its dissolution by the United Kingdom, although its leaders were mostly autonomous and unorganized. The body was dissolved in 1939 after the revolt was crushed.
